Our Story
Where Heritage
Where Heritage
Meets Oakland
Nestled in the vibrant heart of Oakland, Tay Ho Restaurant and Bar is a celebration of Vietnamese culinary heritage, reimagined for the modern table. Named after the iconic West Lake district of Hanoi - a place where generations have gathered to share stories over steaming bowls - Tay Ho brings that same spirit of community and warmth to the East Bay.
Our kitchen is devoted to sourcing the finest local ingredients, from Mary's organic free-range chicken that simmers in our fragrant pho broth to Piedmontese steak that graces our beloved Drunken Beef. Every dish is a bridge between the traditional flavors of Vietnam and the innovative spirit of Oakland, crafted with care and served with soul.
Whether you're savoring a bowl of classic pho, sharing crispy spring rolls with friends, or discovering new flavors from our cocktail bar, Tay Ho invites you to pull up a chair and become part of our story. This is Vietnamese cuisine elevated - soulful, aromatic, and deeply communal.
